Robbing Life Of Friendship Is

Lay Down This Rule Of Friendship: Neither Ask Nor Consent To Do What Is Wrong. The Plea, 'for Friendship's Sake,' Is A Discreditable One, And Should Not Be Admitted For A Moment. We Should Ask From Friends And Do For Friends Only What Is Good.

To Live Long It Is Necessary To Live Slowly.

Long Life Is Denied Us; Therefore Let Us Do Something To Show That We Have Lived.

Wisdom Is The Only Thing Which Can Relieve Us From The Sway Of The Passions And The Fear Of Danger, And Which Can Teach Us To Bear The Injuries Of Fortune Itself With Moderation, And Which Shows Us All The Ways Which Lead To Tranquility And Peace.

Wars, Therefore, Are To Be Undertaken For This End, That We May Live In Peace, Without Being Injured; But When We Obtain The Victory, We Must Preserve Those Enemies Who Behaved Without Cruelty Or Inhumanity During The War.
